Default Steering Wheel Swap?

I have a 91 dak but my steering wheel is in really bad shape lol. its, you could say, weathered. What Im wondering is could I take a ram steering wheel and bolt it right on? Or would I need to drill the hole in the wheel bigger? Figure Chrysler would make almost all universal

My guess is it will work. Just make sure it has the same amount of splines on it.

A steering wheel puller will make it easier. You can rent it from most autoparts stores.

it should work, I would just count the splines then count them off the ram when you get the wheel off. The steering wheels in early daks suck ***.

Why not just buy a custom steering wheel?
